elogd is crashing with a segv when I try to create a new logbook by clicking the "Create new logbook" button
with an existing logbook selected in the dropdown list as a template. I've attached my config file for
reference. As a specific example, I'm logged in as the admin user, viewing logbook "1248", which has no entries,
and I click "Config" -> "Change config file" -> "Create new logbook", Select "1248" from dropdown list, enter
"1250" for the new logbook name, and click "Create new logbook".

The server crashes, and my web browser has the following as the (incorrect) URL it's trying to load:
(Incorrect because the "/ATLAS" shouldn't be there.)

https://localhost:8080/ATLAS/1250/?cmd=Config

Nevertheless, the config file and logbook directory are properly modified for the new logbook, and on restarting
the server, everything is fine.

Oh, just noticed that if I manually enter the URL:

https://localhost:8080/ATLAS/1250/

or actually, any text in place of the "1250", it also crashes the elogd process. So, perhaps there are two bugs?

(1) Incorrect URL being given to the web client after logbook creation
(2) Requesting any incorrect URL of this form crashes elogd

When submitting entries via the elog client, I find that I can set arbitrary values for attributes that are supposedly "preset" and "locked".

As an example, I have in my elogd.cfg file:

[global]

...

Group Operations = Accelerator

Top group ATLAS = Operations

...

[global ATLAS]

Attributes = Experiment, Author, Author Email, Category, Subject
Required Attributes = Category, Subject
Options Category = Routine entry, Shift summary, Problem, Fix, Question, Info, Other
Extendable Options = Category

Preset Experiment =
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset Author Email = $user_email
Locked Attributes = Experiment, Author, Author Email

...

[Accelerator]
Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Subject
Options Category = Routine entry, Shift summary, Problem, Fix, Question, Info, Other

...

This works as intended with a web client (firefox). The Author and Author Email attributes are preset and unchangeable.

However, if I use the elog client, as in:

elog -v -h my.apache-proxy.server -d elog -l Accelerator -p 443 -s -u johndoe xxxxx -a Category=LN -a Subject=Test -a Author=IDoNotExist -n 1 -m entry.txt 
(johndoe is an existing user)

 

The entry is created with "IDoNotExist" as the Author name, instead of the correct name for the user johndoe,
and the Author Email attribute is blank.

Is there a way to enforce preset and locked attributes in the elogd server? (As a client could connect
with any arbitrary software, not just elog.)

Hi noob question I was looking for a config but i cant make it, how to i make multitab logbook like this page?

Like in Discussion there are forum,config examples,contribution and vulnerabilities under it

Thanks

 NVM found it Thanks

how can you have more than 1 heading like in this forum. Example is: Demo and Discusion and have diferent sub heading under each one?

So example if Demo is selected you get one group of tabs to select from and if Discussion is selected you get a different second set of tabs to choise from.

Thanks in adavance

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade ELOG 2.9.2, which I have been used many years, to the new version (3.1.2).

I can't run the new version even from the command line:

Message box appears with message:

What do I do wrong ?

I'm trying to use my old config file. New default config gave the same result :-(

Dear elog community,

We have a problem with elog V3.1.2-bd75964.
Sometimes entries disappear from the list after editing.
I found them in the .log files with attributes

Locked by:
Draft:

But they are not in the list anymore!
The only solution by now is manually remove these two attributes from the file,
but this is terrible.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Peter.

Thanks for fast response!

I LIKE locking and saving drafts.
The only problem is that the locked message disappeared from the list.
This does not happen every time one left the editor, but sometimes.
I can send you the problematic message as it was disappeared, before I deleted Locked by and Draft attributes.
I can't imagine why it is not shown in the list.
